Damn, don’t chlorinate the water?
They might also want to search the water supplies of Democrat senators.
Especially the female ones.
From California.
“One person from out of state..”
I wonder if they mean out of country?
Now we know what is afflicting the lefties.
Was the patient afflicted before or after visiting the park? Even if they find the amoeba at the park, how do they know the patient didn’t deposit it? DNA testing?
Wow, the Democrats are willing to do anything to increase their voting base for these midterms!

Maybe someone can find something I missed, but I couldn’t find any info on how that dang li’l critter actually gets into a body of water...
Check the Senate Judiciary Committee while you’re at it.
Looks like someone caught Pelosi fantasizing about Brett Kavanaugh again...
Headline should read. Brain eating amoebas starving to death when attacking dems.
Amoeba have DNA?
Good lord. Yes, they do. So do fungi and bacteria.

It’s Texas - same same!
Naegleria fowleri infections are rare*. In the 10 years from 2008 to 2017, 34 infections were reported in the U.S. Of those cases, 30 people were infected by recreational water, 3 people were infected after performing nasal irrigation using contaminated tap water, and 1 person was infected by contaminated tap water used on a backyard slip-n-slide.
Naegleria fowleri causes the disease primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain infection that leads to the destruction of brain tissue. In its early stages, symptoms of PAM may be similar to symptoms of bacterial meningitis.
Initial symptoms of PAM start about 5 days (range 1 to 9 days) after infection. The initial symptoms may include headache, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Later symptoms can include stiff neck, confusion, lack of attention to people and surroundings, loss of balance, seizures, and hallucinations. After the start of symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and usually causes death within about 5 days (range 1 to 12 days).
